The Moon landing was staged, but Kubrick insisted on shooting on location.

Imagine directing the same negative energy towards the people who litter in nature (or anywhere else for that matter).

One hour commute to the office for a job that could be done from home is the real destruction of time in a human life.

Subtle hint of how much data they're collecting.

"Looks good on the photos"

Flat Earth Society has members from all around the globe.

It's not the IS that makes them expensive, it's the locked out ecosystem and the monopoly they have. I'm not saying they're not good - they are (from what I've seen), but healthy competition, if it existed, would've driven the prices down a bit.

As for IS itself, since the move to IBIS, it makes sense that some lenses drop the IS and only rely on the body's. IMO it used to matter in the DSLR days when IBIS was not really a thing. Nowadays it's sensible to only put it into the longer lenses that physically need it (the longer the lens, the more physical movement required to compensate and so on).

That's why it's important to set expectations in advance. 50 images shot in the same setting and processed in bulk with maybe minor adjustments to each is something very different from 50 images that you have to touch up every single one.

The "Don't recommend channel" button has served me pretty well so far (although yeah, you'd have to go through something first to mark it as such).

Noted: if I ever get the chance to shop at Best Buy, I won't.

Yep, that's definitely confirmed by the work conditions he fosters.

... and then there would still be that asshole who would cross the street between the bridges anyway.

That's strange - I had some of the same symptoms and it ended up being a completely different thing - a dying (and then eventually completely dead) SSD (the Phison controller fiasco).

Other than that the CPU itself seems fine and it's only shown very minor degradation over the 4-5 years I've had it - i.e. it used to boost up to 4975 or 4950 single core, now it only goes up to about 4900 (no PBO, no CO); and I've also had to fix the SoC voltage because of the memory - but I haven't touched that in like 3 years, so not sure it's even degradation.

The audacity to ask for the raw, unprocessed photos for a lower price, and then complain that they look boring.

That has the same energy as going to a restaurant and asking for the raw ingredients.

Darkbench.

I'm getting worried, 'cause I've got the same. What killed yours?
